Thieves monitoring social media to target farm machinery

[manhill]

You realise that TFF is social media....don't you?

If you walk down the street showing off your shiney gold watch or the latest mobile phone, expect to get mugged.

Well that's certainly cutting a few corners short. With the amount of fake watches going about it's highly unlikely that anyone will jump you for something that looks like gold but probably isn't. Only the hookers can identify a real (gold) Rolex from few feets away (i have first hand experience of that) and even that is rare. Atleast it needs to be one of the less popular models, which aren't copied that much.

Depends where in the world you are, but life is very cheap in some places. I was more aiming for the concept of, "advertise you have something of value then don't be surprised if you are targeted".

But here are a few quick examples:

Rolex watch robbed from pensioner by 'charity workers' | Bournemouth Echo

Young man robbed £50,000 gold watch in Chelsea is caught on camera - MyLondon

I got mugged for my watch in London! - Page 1 - Watches - PistonHeads UK

Probably yes. There's no such place here in which i would feel uncomfortable wearing my Rolex in.

I own several. It's my guilty pleasure.

Sadly making any points towards who usually robs us blind would be seen as racist towards a minority. Which is why I left faceache because you can’t call them pikeys or travellers and got a one week ban from one of the farming pages, obviously those sorts are watching and reporting

We've gypsies, but since it isn't "politically correct" to call them that, they're called "horse racers".

They'll recycle allright. Stealing car/tractor batteries and even jacking cars up in the middle of the night at city center to steal your catalysator.
